am loking for my 1st ever ergonomic chair with lumbar support and full tilt head rest my budget is $00 and am a big guy and 6'0 tall any recommendations
7:08 Tall freak of Nature reporting in at 6 foot 5 inches. The Embody FITS ME PERFECTLY. Headrest ordered today, will update once it arrives. EDIT: GOT IT TODAY! To answer your question at this specific time stamp.. being 6,5 NO IT'S NOT GOOD IN THIS POSITION, IT HITS MY SHOULDER BLADES, BEST PLACE FOR IT FOR "TALL FREAKS" IS LIKE BEHIND NECK/HEAD WITH A 1 INCH GAP.
Not exactly. By law, they can’t say your headrest voids the warranty that covers the rest of the chair, unless they can prove the headrest caused it. So if your arms break, they can’t say “well you voided your warranty”. Also…how will they know you put a headrest on? Just take it off before you call or send it in lol.
@@5banjostrings Don't forget that with things like the M-M Warranty Act, they can't use that as an excuse for something unrelated. They would have to prove that your headrest mount broke something else, like, say, your caster or recline mechanism. Clearly, that would not be something they can prove.
Thank you my dude. Your videos are very informative and lead me to purchasing the Embody + Atlas Headrest (which finally arrived). The Embody alone relieved backpain I had for years and the Atlas headrest is absolutely perfect and versatile. Keep up the great work.
Finally!! After 6 months of waiting, I finally received my headrest today. Thank you for the instructions. It was easier to install. Looks and feel well great!
It was a long wait for this headrest and it will well worth it. Installed my headrest a few days ago and I am in love. The headrest is so good, so comfy and well thought out. Bravo Atlas and thanks for the discount code Ahnestly ;)
I got this video randomly recommend a couple weeks ago to me after owning the Embody for nearly 4 years. It's installed now! Truly the endgame of chairs!!! Thank you so much for the discount code as well!
Nice. If you don’t mind me asking which color did you get? I ordered mine in February also but still haven’t got a shipment notification. I order the same gaming embody in the video
I'm loving the new headrest. I received my headrest later after the pre-orders for popular colors were sent out first, but I've got to say that I'm loving it. The dark carbon and graphite colorway on the headrest is *chef's kiss*!
Okay so I bought the embody gaming chair and I love it but recently I’ve been getting some really bad neck pain on my right side and idk if I need a headrest or not cause I feel like I constantly need to rest my neck due to it always being up. Do you think it’s dude to lack of having no headrest?
I just got this headrest today and goddamn does it make a huge difference. I never really used the recline feature much because I'd have to hold my head up using my neck muscles and I'd only be able to hold that position for a minute or two. Now I can recline with comfort and it is HEAVEN. Also, I was blown away at how closely the headrest's build matches the the build of the chair. It looks like it's a factory accessory sold by Herman Miller. Really an amazing product from Atlas, it really transforms the Embody into the perfect chair.
Just received mine and its an absolute must for whoever has this chair, totally recommend it! and thanks for the assembling tips, made it way faster to do it!.
You've helped me out from the very beginning of my chair journey! From finding the Embody to be great for me, to waiting out the 3 months for this awesome headrest. My chair is finally ready - and it's all thanks to you! Thank you so much for your great vids!
I know $5 off is not a huge number, but I was more happy to be able to give you whatever affiliate credit you get for this. Your channel, and specifiically your Embody videos led to me finally buying one with this headrest, and it has been a massive improvement over my "Amazon Special." Only 1 week in, but the green+white colorway looks sexy as hell. Herman Miller's ridiculous statement that this chair does not need a headrest is sheer lunacy. I still need to tweak the headrest a bit, but I think I found a way to set it up so that it doesn't touch me when sitting straight up, and only adds support when I get into "lazy gamer mode" as you call it! :)
Got mine yesterday. Its really insane how well the colors matching and how soft it is. My Embody is perfect now. Awesome! Worth every penny and will hopefully last me the next ten years
Appreciate this video, and all of your reviews. I ended up getting this headrest and installed using your instructions, which are much better than Atlas' own video. Thank you!
I purchased this headrest after seeing your reviews, and I'm very satisfied. Your reviews were spot on. I too was able to sleep in my Embody chair after getting this headrest. I'm 6'2", and probably as tall as you could be comfortable in the chair. Though the headrest adjusts taller the back of the chair is just an inch or two below the tops of my shoulder, and I think I'd want a taller-backed chair were I any taller myself.
Woot woot! Here’s something to try - lower the headrest as low as it’ll go and see how that feels on your back! The cushion is so soft that it can actually provide additional upper back support!
So far it is really good. Definitely an improvement to the embody. Not a tall freak by any means, around 5 11, I do run into the issue of having to crank it down so it doesnt move, but I have loosened it so I can move it manually. It moves when I dont want it to sometimes, but, its an easy fix when it isnt cranked down. Overall, it is a bit expensive for me, but it really is high quality and you wont find anything that seriously competes with it. Glad it's finally here.
I’m so glad to see something that you have been talking about for what seems like an eternity come to final form. It shows how much you care about this and I really hope this channel blows up because you deserve it from all your hard work and effort that you out in. I have the Fern and looking to buy the Anthros will you be doing a review on it?
After digging what best chair is I've ordered a HM Embody Gaming (Graphite/White) and matching Atlas headrest. 20% off until Monday and his $5 off worked! Yes expensive, but I'm at home office 8am-10pm with work & gaming. This will be the final piece to new home office from Secretlab (Magnus Pro XL). Was thinking Haworth Fern originally or the Titan also from Secretlab, but HM the best. Thanks for thorough reviews making it easier and get the matching headrest. Can't wait for the chair and headrest to arrive!
I finally purchased the gaming embody (galaxy) thanks to your advice and I also ordered the atlas headrest. Thank you for your great work and helping me with the purchase sir!
The Atlas headrest for the Embody really completes this chair. The level of quality and attention to detail the designers put into this headrest really blew me away. Make no mistake, Atlas nailed the look, feel, touch-points, and ergonomics while requiring no modifications to the original chair. The headrest does not look tacked on, it looks and feels like it is part of the chair. Like you I have the black and cyan gaming Embody. The The lack of a place to hang the "HM x Logitech" tag is one of the only dings I have against the headrest so far. I do also wonder how well the horizontal tension adjustment will hold after months of daily use. It is something that I will keep a close eye on. Everything else about the Atlas headrest for the Embody seems to be top notch, with the same attention to detail as the chair itself. All of the materials match the chair, including the soft rubber used on the forward/backward adjustment knob, which matches the seat adjustment knob on the Embody. Herman Miller NEEDS to make a headrest a part of the actual chair. It is INSANE that the chair doesn't come with one from the factory. That being said, I love my Embody for focused work and gaming. The only place where it falls down is for relaxing, lounging and other passive activities such as watching videos.
Great review and thanks for the install directions. I am now chilling in my Black / White Embody Gaming Chair with matching Atlas Headrest and it feels like i'm floating on a cloud!
Ordered the Embody chair last Christmas after watching your reviews and I've loved it ever since. Definitely looking at getting the headrest after your thoughts here. Keep up the content, your production is awesome!
Thanks for the upload, just got my headrest today (Finally, lol) and this vid saved me from headaches with the tips, loving it, best improvement to the embody. I can finally tilt my head back when reclining it and not feeling like my necks about to snap, lol.
@@GbproofaccountTheMaster dude it's awesome; I was skeptical, truthfully, but when it arrived and I installed it sat and adjusted it, and tightened everything down, it was perfect! Completed the chair; I highly recommend it.
I've been looking for a reclining chair to use in my living room. I don't sit at a desk when using my personal computer, I just pull a modified recliner into position and have a mouse pad attached to the arm. It sounds like this might be a perfect replacement for it. I currently have a Respawn, and it has served me well, but it's starting to wear out and it's time for an upgrade.
Just finished watching your review on both the Embody with as headrest and the Fern with a headrest. After watching your reviews, I am leaning towards the Embody. As someone on the taller side (6ft4 or 193CM), it seems like a better fit for me. Plus the warranty on the embody seems to be a lot longer than the Fern here in Europe. Waiting until black friday until I make my final decision, but it is looking like it will be the Embody. Thank you for your insight and reviews!
I've had the fern in the past month and the seat is small for guys our height (I'm 6'2). Too bad because I thought the fern was a really solid chair, I ended up returning it and bought the embody. The chair is a lot smaller than I thought it would be though, the seat is way bigger than the fern which was the ultimate downfall on the fern for me
@@mathieubellavance2506how do you like the seat and is the maximum seating height enough for people like us I am 193cm so about 6.4“ I think. I am looking to buy the HM embody with the ongoing sale ! And I wonder how much the headrest will cost to ship and import to Germany. Because the German „Zoll“ will definitely raise the import tax on that thing.
@@GbproofaccountTheMaster I wish I could give you more input but I received the chair and went in for a major surgery literally the day after. From my short time on the seat I definitely do want the headrest, which I ordered. And also found the seat to be pretty hard on the bum after sitting in it for not very long, I'm hoping it will break in some...
2:09 Got this Headrest 2 days ago, THE DESIGN MAY HAVE CHANGED? IT'S NOW WAY EASIER TO INSTALL. The base can now be "split in 2" so you can screw in one side then take the other piece screw it into back of chair on other side, then screw it into the Headrest Frame. SUPER EASY!
Just got my white with Iris color in today just installed it. I also have the balance fabric but this Rythnm doesn't look bad at all with the balance. I love it turns this chair into a whole other monster. I also used your code so thanks for the savings with that. Im for sure going to get some Warzone and some BoardWalk Empire in this chair today. Im a full time trader and this chair with this headrest in 100% best chair on market and best headrest if your at your Pc for 8-10 hours a day. Thanks again
just got mine today and it makes a world of difference in the embody chair. ill be honest, i kinda regretted buying the embody at first since i wanted lumbar support and a headrest. now this solved the head part and still lacked the lumbar
I wish I knew that installation tip when I did mine. That arm piece fell so many times lol. I got the white frame and nightfall sync version of the headrest. So far, liking it a whole lot. I have it dialed in pretty tight, but I can still adjust it easily.
Great review! Very reassuring as preoders are always a bit of a worry. Paid my deposit on 18th March. Paid in full on 1st April. Shipped on the 16th June and set to arrive in Australia on the 21st! Cant wait to install it and tive it a spin!
Finally got my headrest today after ordering it at the end of aug 2023. 10/10 purchase. It definitely was the missing piece for an already amazing chair.
7:05 I’m 6 ft 2 and having trouble with the lack of upper back support that I’ve bought an Aeron to see if I will switch. (Just got the Embody) DOES the headrest help with the upper back problem for tall people? I REALLY LOVE this chair but the shoulder blades being above the top is SO annoying! @Ahnestly what have you heard?
I was waiting for this review to buy it, because i trust you more than anything, even though i was pretty sure it would have been a masterpiece anyway... Now i just have to wait for your code to drop, and then i'm totally sold. You're the best, as always.
my plan is to 3d print something to try to get that tag to adapt to the headrest arm. Not sure what that looks like until mine arrives but thats the plan for now.
I preordered the same one and still haven't received my head rest yet. I'm happy that others have received there's. Makes me can't wait for mine even more lol
I've been keeping up with the progress of this since close to when it was first announced. Do I own an Embody? No. Will I own an Embody in the near future? Probably not. But one day, I will snag an Embody; one day after that, I will snag an Atlas headrest for the Embody. For now my modern art-ys looking chair with piss poor ergonomics and a notorious reputation for leaving geometric imprints on my bone-y bottom will suffice XD. Glad to see this finally coming to fruition and props to Atlas for activating the code AFTER fulfilling the current backlog. Would have been easy, and definitely tempting, to keep racking in more capital with preorders or back-logged orders. Them wanting to clear their back-log first shows good character; very respectable!
6ft here. I give it an extra 90 degrees of turn with the key (after max hand tension) on the forward/back before it actually supports the weight of my head properly. I can still adjust it, but after a dozen or so adjustments, gotta bust out the key and ratchet it down again because it will loosen with movement. Hope that feedback helps.
I'll probably end up making some type of permanent wrench contraption that I can reach back to tighen/loosen 180 degrees so that I can clamp it down without getting up.
I'm so excited for this thing. It's been on my radar since I got my embody, but I put in my pre-order as soon as you announced that it was open here. I'm a tall guy that really only uses my chair in leisure time and really the only complaint I have of the chair is the lack of a headrest. Obviously, we should temper our expectations, but this is really hyping me up for the coming weeks.
Literally just ordered 2 Embodys after holding off for 3 years. It's like the timing is all coming together lol! I ordered through an AD and was completely shocked about the discounts. I'm surprised barely anyone talks about byying through them because i would have bought wven sooner if I'd know just how much i could save.
Yes the rigidity of having to tighten everything so it doesn't move back is a problem. Also I feel like I'm tightening it too hard but overall it's worked amazing the last 2 weeks and I'm happy.
I just got the headrest and I agree with the cons in this video, the thing moves back way too easily when I lean on the headrest. Superhard to find a sweet spot on the tension there. But to be honest I do have a bit of buyers remorse, I kind of agree with HM, I don't think my Embody need a headrest lol.
@@Kilite hey! Assuming you used the hex screw to tighten? Also, not sure how you’re using it, but are you using it in the neck curve? Should be a lot easier to find the sweet spot if you use it there vs the back of your head! I absolutely love mine when I loosen the tension knob 13 full big turns and just lean back. It’s unmatched!
Got my rhythm blue on white frame headrest; doesn't 100% match the balance blue fabric but close enough :) Thanks for the tip on installation. So far enjoying the headrest a lot, it is close if not mimics the original quality of the Embody and it is very easy to adjust!
i have absolutely cranked tension knob (even with the wrench) and it still moves back when i put my head back on it, kind of disappointing. happy with everything else about it
"Tall freaks of nature" LMAO. Love the vid, don't even have the Embody (rocking a modded Amia), but I love the production and content so much, that I watched the whole way through. I think a headrest is tough to implement, as it can make or break the chair. This one, however, seems very thought-out and comfortable! Great video as usual, Ahnestly!
I like the color of back Embody chair, the officially website only offer translucent not blue color. please tell me where I can select this back. Thanks
I got mine as well. It looks fantastic and is comfortable. What I don't like is that my Unit has some ugly production marks around the screw holes which you can even see when everything is attached... still waiting for an response from Atlas.
Ordered my on Jan 2, didn't received yet. I get that they are working hard on it, but it's frustrating and I already regret of giving my money to a company that barelly provide customer support on this aspect. I'll keep hopping that it will arrive or that they will answer my e-mail.
I received mine back in March / April, but it did not fit the chair, I took a Dremel to it, had to cut about 1.5-2mm from the part that attaches to the chair so that it would fit around the neck of the chair and actually fit. I have plenty of pictures of the improper fit and the Dremel process to fix it if anyone needs help.
Please use the link! They changed the way the coupon works - if you use my link, it generates you a one-time use code. I believe sites in the past were taking advantage of the code and stealing commission!
I just ordered my Embody, got it 20% off for a total of $1,510 after tax and shipping. Hoping it arrives around the time they come to pick up my Vantum, yeah I bought one without reading reviews ... I cancelled before it shipped but it did ship. I do not suggest a Vantum, the seat is tiny, the armrests suck, it's only really amazing for lounging in. Once my Embody arrives I plan on getting this headrest maybe in a paycheck or two, Herman Miller nearly broke me. xD
Great review! As there will be no 'Balance' fabric version of this headrest, which fabric would you recommend to go with my current white frame / black balance fabric chair? It's hard to tell the difference between the Rhythm, Sync and Medley fabrics on screen. Rhythm looks the blackest and possibly a similar synthetic texture to the balance. Sync looks a bit more woolly and the Medly smoother.
Hey! I ahnestly (ha!) don't know...I showed what the sync looks like against the balance fabric in the video! So maybe you can either choose or rule out that based on what you see!

Is this chair for a heavy guy ? 390 lbs

To answer your question at this specific time stamp.. being 6,5 NO IT'S NOT GOOD IN THIS POSITION, IT HITS MY SHOULDER BLADES, BEST PLACE FOR IT FOR "TALL FREAKS" IS LIKE BEHIND NECK/HEAD WITH A 1 INCH GAP.

Yes. Yes yes yes.
Sucks it voids the warranty though.

after installing mine, I had the same thought about the allen wrench! I'm 6'4" and found a tension that holds me up but is still adjustable.
Oooo great feedback! No issues with adjusting it/it moving when you use it???
@@Ahnestly not really. I've had to tighten it slightly once so far, but other than that, it's great!

Just got my 3 last night. After installing I said this is how the chair should have came. I looks and feels amazing.
Exceptionally helpful review, thank you! I got my headrest installed in minutes using this video.
woot woot!! Glad it helped!!
just bought the gaming embody cyan blue for "just" 1372€. Happy with that, since it had always been at 1715€ :) Thank you for all your videos!
I'm 6'3 and have one on order. I'll report back on comfort when it arrives! Upper back support sounds nice.
Awesome. Can’t wait to hear your feedback!!!
I am the same height as you Thomas and I would appreciate your feedback a lot !
@@GbproofaccountTheMaster dude it's awesome; I was skeptical, truthfully, but when it arrived and I installed it sat and adjusted it, and tightened everything down, it was perfect! Completed the chair; I highly recommend it.
YESSSS!!!
Can't wait to get mine! Ordered it last week so it will probably be a few months but glad you think its a solid product!~
I've been looking for a reclining chair to use in my living room. I don't sit at a desk when using my personal computer, I just pull a modified recliner into position and have a mouse pad attached to the arm. It sounds like this might be a perfect replacement for it.
I currently have a Respawn, and it has served me well, but it's starting to wear out and it's time for an upgrade.
Just finished watching your review on both the Embody with as headrest and the Fern with a headrest. After watching your reviews, I am leaning towards the Embody. As someone on the taller side (6ft4 or 193CM), it seems like a better fit for me. Plus the warranty on the embody seems to be a lot longer than the Fern here in Europe. Waiting until black friday until I make my final decision, but it is looking like it will be the Embody. Thank you for your insight and reviews!
I've had the fern in the past month and the seat is small for guys our height (I'm 6'2). Too bad because I thought the fern was a really solid chair, I ended up returning it and bought the embody. The chair is a lot smaller than I thought it would be though, the seat is way bigger than the fern which was the ultimate downfall on the fern for me
@@mathieubellavance2506how do you like the seat and is the maximum seating height enough for people like us I am 193cm so about 6.4“ I think. I am looking to buy the HM embody with the ongoing sale ! And I wonder how much the headrest will cost to ship and import to Germany. Because the German „Zoll“ will definitely raise the import tax on that thing.
@@GbproofaccountTheMaster I wish I could give you more input but I received the chair and went in for a major surgery literally the day after. From my short time on the seat I definitely do want the headrest, which I ordered. And also found the seat to be pretty hard on the bum after sitting in it for not very long, I'm hoping it will break in some...
@@mathieubellavance2506 oh I see thank you very much for your reply! Wish you a speedy recovery my friend !
2:09 Got this Headrest 2 days ago, THE DESIGN MAY HAVE CHANGED? IT'S NOW WAY EASIER TO INSTALL. The base can now be "split in 2" so you can screw in one side then take the other piece screw it into back of chair on other side, then screw it into the Headrest Frame. SUPER EASY!
Just got my white with Iris color in today just installed it. I also have the balance fabric but this Rythnm doesn't look bad at all with the balance. I love it turns this chair into a whole other monster. I also used your code so thanks for the savings with that. Im for sure going to get some Warzone and some BoardWalk Empire in this chair today. Im a full time trader and this chair with this headrest in 100% best chair on market and best headrest if your at your Pc for 8-10 hours a day. Thanks again
@@chartmaster5440 YEAHHHH!!!
Love that you included an installation guide. Great video bro!
Thank you!! Appreciate it!
Now if only they could actually complete the orders from 7 months back
Did you get it yet ?
Ahahah that’s why I didn’t prebuy it, it was obvious
@@faroukb.616so basically ure gonna wait even longer than us so what's so funny 😅
Already got mine!
Good luck buddy, I ordered mine not long after the pre-orders went live and I just got it today!
I finally got a email yesterday with my shipping info. I can't wait to get it and test it out.
just got mine today and it makes a world of difference in the embody chair. ill be honest, i kinda regretted buying the embody at first since i wanted lumbar support and a headrest. now this solved the head part and still lacked the lumbar
this is what I'm sayin man!!!
I wish I knew that installation tip when I did mine. That arm piece fell so many times lol.
I got the white frame and nightfall sync version of the headrest. So far, liking it a whole lot. I have it dialed in pretty tight, but I can still adjust it easily.
Great review! Very reassuring as preoders are always a bit of a worry.
Paid my deposit on 18th March. Paid in full on 1st April. Shipped on the 16th June and set to arrive in Australia on the 21st!
Cant wait to install it and tive it a spin!
I cant wait to get mine! Its been such a long wait!
Ordered the Embody Gaming yesterday and will add the headrest once I'm sure it's a keeper. Excellent presentation that made me want it even more. :)
Got the Atlas delivered today, super happy with it.
Woot woot!!!
Finally got my headrest today after ordering it at the end of aug 2023. 10/10 purchase. It definitely was the missing piece for an already amazing chair.
niceeeee!!!!
I’ve had mine ordered since Christmas, same colour as yours. Annoyed it hasn’t been processed yet, I must’ve been one of the first customers.
Follow their IG/FB page for updates
7:05 I’m 6 ft 2 and having trouble with the lack of upper back support that I’ve bought an Aeron to see if I will switch. (Just got the Embody)
DOES the headrest help with the upper back problem for tall people? I REALLY LOVE this chair but the shoulder blades being above the top is SO annoying!
@Ahnestly what have you heard?
I was waiting for this review to buy it, because i trust you more than anything, even though i was pretty sure it would have been a masterpiece anyway... Now i just have to wait for your code to drop, and then i'm totally sold.
You're the best, as always.
Thank you for the kind words!!!
@@Ahnestly all deserved, as always🙏🏼
my plan is to 3d print something to try to get that tag to adapt to the headrest arm. Not sure what that looks like until mine arrives but thats the plan for now.
Looking forward to it!
I preordered the same one and still haven't received my head rest yet. I'm happy that others have received there's. Makes me can't wait for mine even more lol
Great attitude!
I've been keeping up with the progress of this since close to when it was first announced. Do I own an Embody? No. Will I own an Embody in the near future? Probably not. But one day, I will snag an Embody; one day after that, I will snag an Atlas headrest for the Embody. For now my modern art-ys looking chair with piss poor ergonomics and a notorious reputation for leaving geometric imprints on my bone-y bottom will suffice XD. Glad to see this finally coming to fruition and props to Atlas for activating the code AFTER fulfilling the current backlog. Would have been easy, and definitely tempting, to keep racking in more capital with preorders or back-logged orders. Them wanting to clear their back-log first shows good character; very respectable!
!! Great input!!
Nice review, still waiting for mine to ship. Can't wait
6ft here. I give it an extra 90 degrees of turn with the key (after max hand tension) on the forward/back before it actually supports the weight of my head properly. I can still adjust it, but after a dozen or so adjustments, gotta bust out the key and ratchet it down again because it will loosen with movement.
Hope that feedback helps.
I'll probably end up making some type of permanent wrench contraption that I can reach back to tighen/loosen 180 degrees so that I can clamp it down without getting up.
How’d it hold up 7 months later? Did you come up with some kind of contraption or do you still just tighten it every so often?
Just got mine after a verrrrrryyyyy long wait. But holy shit is it a game changer. Literally.
YESSSSS
Received mine today. Great upgrade for my Embody! Thanks for the install vid.
I'm so excited for this thing. It's been on my radar since I got my embody, but I put in my pre-order as soon as you announced that it was open here. I'm a tall guy that really only uses my chair in leisure time and really the only complaint I have of the chair is the lack of a headrest. Obviously, we should temper our expectations, but this is really hyping me up for the coming weeks.
Thanks!
Literally just ordered 2 Embodys after holding off for 3 years. It's like the timing is all coming together lol! I ordered through an AD and was completely shocked about the discounts. I'm surprised barely anyone talks about byying through them because i would have bought wven sooner if I'd know just how much i could save.
AD?
@@iNoYT authorized dealer
Not seeing any real discounts, got any suggestion for me? Ty!
where from?
you were shocked about a....5% discount?
Thanks Ahnestly. Mine is coming today. Let's go!
Yes the rigidity of having to tighten everything so it doesn't move back is a problem. Also I feel like I'm tightening it too hard but overall it's worked amazing the last 2 weeks and I'm happy.
Just got mine a couple weeks ago and it's as legit as Dan says. It really makes this chair.
U should do a review to see if it leaves any marks on the chair after long use.
I just got the headrest and I agree with the cons in this video, the thing moves back way too easily when I lean on the headrest. Superhard to find a sweet spot on the tension there. But to be honest I do have a bit of buyers remorse, I kind of agree with HM, I don't think my Embody need a headrest lol.
@@Kilite hey! Assuming you used the hex screw to tighten? Also, not sure how you’re using it, but are you using it in the neck curve? Should be a lot easier to find the sweet spot if you use it there vs the back of your head!
I absolutely love mine when I loosen the tension knob 13 full big turns and just lean back. It’s unmatched!
Which colour would match the Mercer Charcoal colour best?
Got my rhythm blue on white frame headrest; doesn't 100% match the balance blue fabric but close enough :) Thanks for the tip on installation. So far enjoying the headrest a lot, it is close if not mimics the original quality of the Embody and it is very easy to adjust!
i have absolutely cranked tension knob (even with the wrench) and it still moves back when i put my head back on it, kind of disappointing. happy with everything else about it
"Tall freaks of nature" LMAO. Love the vid, don't even have the Embody (rocking a modded Amia), but I love the production and content so much, that I watched the whole way through. I think a headrest is tough to implement, as it can make or break the chair. This one, however, seems very thought-out and comfortable! Great video as usual, Ahnestly!
got mine and love it. changed the whole chair.
is it the final "cyan" gaming chair color ? It doesn't seem to be the same color...
mine came already, and hes right it lives up to the hype, i pre ordered dec 29
Can't say I miss a headrest on my embody, but it does look nice quality.
Atlas is still a little messed up. I pre-ordered in December and I am STILL waiting for my Gaming version of cyan and black...
I like the color of back Embody chair, the officially website only offer translucent not blue color. please tell me where I can select this back. Thanks
This is the gaming embody. I have the link in the description! Please consider using it as it helps the channel a lot!!!
Would you recommend this chair for a podcast given the 'squeaky' backrest?
I got mine as well. It looks fantastic and is comfortable. What I don't like is that my Unit has some ugly production marks around the screw holes which you can even see when everything is attached... still waiting for an response from Atlas.
I wish they would update us on where they are in the pre order queue. I want to know how far away mine is from being shipped.
They do on FB if you follow their page
Mine just arrived, phenomenal quality.
Ordered my on Jan 2, didn't received yet. I get that they are working hard on it, but it's frustrating and I already regret of giving my money to a company that barelly provide customer support on this aspect. I'll keep hopping that it will arrive or that they will answer my e-mail.
Follow their IG/FB page for updates
just ordered the headrest using your code. I m 5'2 wanna have a headrest when I lean back. Hope it fits me
I’m gonna get this for my embody. Been waiting for the review
Just ordered mine. Can't wait 😊
Does Atlas make headrests for the Sayl chair?
Thank you so much, very nice review, it helps a lot 👏
Mines out for delivery, so excited!
Any ideas on if Atlas Headrest is in the process of making a headrest for Sayl? Or if it's even possible given the way a Sayl is constructed.
I received mine back in March / April, but it did not fit the chair, I took a Dremel to it, had to cut about 1.5-2mm from the part that attaches to the chair so that it would fit around the neck of the chair and actually fit. I have plenty of pictures of the improper fit and the Dremel process to fix it if anyone needs help.
i keep getting message that " discount code isn’t available to you right now. ". does it no longer work?
Please use the link! They changed the way the coupon works - if you use my link, it generates you a one-time use code. I believe sites in the past were taking advantage of the code and stealing commission!
@@Ahnestly Thanks Dan! Linked worked perfectly, looking forward to receiving this headrest and my gaming Embody!
I just ordered my Embody, got it 20% off for a total of $1,510 after tax and shipping. Hoping it arrives around the time they come to pick up my Vantum, yeah I bought one without reading reviews ... I cancelled before it shipped but it did ship. I do not suggest a Vantum, the seat is tiny, the armrests suck, it's only really amazing for lounging in.
Once my Embody arrives I plan on getting this headrest maybe in a paycheck or two, Herman Miller nearly broke me. xD
Great review! As there will be no 'Balance' fabric version of this headrest, which fabric would you recommend to go with my current white frame / black balance fabric chair? It's hard to tell the difference between the Rhythm, Sync and Medley fabrics on screen. Rhythm looks the blackest and possibly a similar synthetic texture to the balance. Sync looks a bit more woolly and the Medly smoother.
Hey! I ahnestly (ha!) don't know...I showed what the sync looks like against the balance fabric in the video! So maybe you can either choose or rule out that based on what you see!
I just ordered the Embody a couple weeks ago. Waiting for it to ship. I want to see how it feels before I decide on getting a headrest.
Makes sense!
